I've been going to Zen since they opened. Tony and Tracy are great people. I live in Kentucky now but every time we come back to visit family, we have to head to Zen for some Salt & Pepper fish, Mandarin Chicken (Juany's way - chicken, peanuts and zucchini only) and of course Sizzling Rice Soup (tell them no corn starch). It's been a family tradition. Many times we have had 20+ family members at the table. I look forward to Zen every time we go to Visalia. read more

Chinese food for take out or dine in located in Visalia Marketplace near to other eateries like Butter + Milk, Pizza Factory, etc. The service was very attentive and fast. The dining area was clean and quaint. The prices are affordable and the food is good. They do not have a liquor license so no beer or wine sold. The General Chicken was good but no kick at all. Generally it has a little spice. The chicken chow mein was flavorful and chicken generous. The egg rolls were crispy and not greasy like some other spots in town. All in all a pleasant experience if you're hankering for Chinese without a cocktail. read more

Very, very good food and I do love to come here when I can. It can be a bit pricy for what you get but it's not like the quality is any less or better. I'd certainly recommend this spot! read more

Food is pretty good but today I had the worst experience which I've seen that the customer service seems to be terrible and today it showed it so I ordered my usual plate of chowmain and sweet and sour chicken only to get home and see they only gave me one portion of chicken so I called back trying to resolve the issue and lady was being rude and then hung up on me might be my last time ordering food from there no one it is always nobody eating there cuz the service sucks read more

Food is cooked at time of order so hot and very fresh! NO "same sauce" on every dish, each with own distinct flavors. Staff is warm and curteous, very friendly! Simple decor, nice natural light with lots of windows, great for large groups. Try the Mongolian Beef so tasty! read more

We shared a chicken noodle soup today! Delish as always! Thank you yummy and comforting lunch! Support our local restaurants!

Came here for lunch with some coworkers. That staff were friendly and very attentive. There were no inconvenient waiting periods for any part of our meal. They were happy to make substitutions to our orders which made me think they were all made fresh. Nice! The food was good, but not life changing. I got the szechuan chicken lunch special and enjoyed it. It was a very substantial serving size. Probably more than I should eat in one sitting, but who wants left overs with hours before you'll be home... anyway, yeah I may update my review once I try more menu items. I'm sure I'll be back to try another. read more

Dry and utterly flavorless. The "shrimp" is all breading. Only place to get delicious chinese food is in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Been coming to Zens for 11years. I still love their food. The service is amazing. The owner is really nice. They always ask my daughter. If she wants her food first when we are waiting for her grandmas. Over all it an amazing place to eat. read more

Heard about this place from a coworker. Have ate there twice this week. Got beef noodle soup the first time and it was so good and hot. The second time, I got the sweet & sour chicken, fried shrimp appetizer and my partner got #1 dinner which has orange chicken, chicken & broccoli and double rice. This also came with a side of fried tasty things. The fried cheese wontons are bomb! It is a fast favorite for us! read more

Zen Asian Diner - Sweet and sour chicken - Diners Near Me - Visalia, California

They have the best sizzling rice soup anywhere!!! But their chicken salad it's just a regular salad very disappointed on that.

Ordered 2 orders of orange tofu and received one order that looked semi normal and one order that was charred and tasted awful. When we called, they did agree to replace it but denied that they were burned. Appreciate that they were willing to give us a new order but we had to drive over twice and food really wasn't good enough to be worth the trouble. Won't return . read more

Zen Asian Diner - Food - Diners Near Me - Visalia, California

I've only been here twice so far. Today I ordered chicken vegetable chow mein and asked that the noodles be pan fried on one side. It was a take-out order and to my surprise when I opened up the box I did get my chow mein but instead of pan fried I got pan burnt. Disappointed to say the least. Their food is otherwise good but having gotten this disappointed me. read more
